Hello,
Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.
Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore.
If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..
This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.
I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don’t abuse them since the number is really low.
i absolutely despise youtube. these fuckers are putting ads on paused videos now, and then this.
they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.
We need a competitor badly.
Paying Nebula subscriber here 🙋♂️
Pony up or your call for a competitor doesn’t mean anything. People don’t want ads? Fine. There has to be another revenue stream. Server capacity costs money, making a website and app cost money, and video creators need to eat.
Peertube/Odysee exist, even if they are relatively niche.
Competitor with no content, users is not a competitor. Youtube should be forced to share content they do not own. Just for the sake of competition.
The content isn’t the problem. It’s the delivery system. No one else has the storage and network capacity that Youtube has. And as a result of that, no one else has the built-in audience Youtube has. Putting your videos on YT is simply the best way to get views.
I use odysee, and so far it’s been nice.
rumble is pretty good
fuck off out of here with your nazi platforms
Pretty much every Alternative Tech platform also has a huge far right population Lemmy is an exception to this but has a decently sized far left population instead I dunno how it is now but a lot of people complained a couple of weeks ago about Nazis joining Bluesky and one of the guys from Bluesky covering them
that’s true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn’t encourage their existence.
Whatever happened to dailymotion?
Dailymotion does not allow for commenting anymore. That’s why I stopped using it.
Does anyone really post anything to Dailymotion besides blatantly unauthorized TV stuff? I can’t imagine it’d be very good vibes for anyone trying to make an honest living with original content over there.
I used it a bit because its also on Grayjay but its pretty terrible and focuses a lot on big media than individual people
iirc they tried to become a tiktok clone, no idea how it went but considering i never see anyone talk about it i doubt it went very well
You want regulations on ads for a free service?
The entitlement is wild.
They’re a monopoly that relies on users to produce content. You see, in a functional capitalist system, when one supplier deliberately hinders competition through unfair trade practices, they are made to change their methods in order to foster competition.
When that system is corrupted and fails to act in a timely manner, all bets are off.
You know where else you can go to find the billions of videos users have uploaded? No. How did it get that way? Just, luck? No.
Yes, we want regulations on ads in YouTube, and it’s an ignorant and arrogant position to call that “entitled”.
Free or not, monopolies should be regulated.
Do you pay for nebula?
You’ll never get upvotes for telling people this reality, but you are of course completely correct.
If only we saw as much enthusiasm for voting generally as we see for taking ads off YT. Maybe we’d actually get a government that was willing to regulate titans.
Works for Albania.
Its not like google fucking earned that money anyways. You don’t earn billions of dollars.
Think about it. If you earned a million dollars a year, you’d be set for life. If you lived for a full hundred years you’d have only made 1/10th of a billion dollars. Despite the fact that its still more money than either of us will probably ever see.
The people who operate google have billions with an s at the end. Think about the hardest working person you’ve known. Think about how little money they made.
Now ask yourself, what did the people with billions do to earn that money? How hard did they have to work to justify it, and how is that level of work even humanly possible? How would a bunch of spoiled overgrown trustfund fratboys find it in themselves do that work?
They fucking don’t. The only people who get that rich do it by cheating, and stealing, and fucking people over. Those fuckers owe us a lot more than video streaming services.
Your math is off. You said one million per day, but your 1/10 of a billion would have it as one million per year
Oof that’s a typo, yeah meant years. Sorry bud.
👌👍
